• In Windows authentication mode, select [Enable HIS Type Single Sign On] using the HIS Utility

n Security Checking for Operation and Monitoring on HIS

The user group and privilege level determines the operation and monitoring scope on an HIS. The
Security Builder predefines the settings of the user group and privilege level for users in an HIS.
The operation and monitoring privileges can be set individually for each HIS. The operation and
monitoring on an HIS must be performed only after checking the operation and monitoring privileges of
the user and HIS.

l Temporarily Changing the User Privilege Level

If an operation keyboard is connected to the HIS, you can change the privilege level using the mode
selection key on the keyboard.
The operation key and engineering key are the two types of keys used for switching between the
modes.

TIP Some AIP830 and AIP831 operation keyboards do not have the key-switch for mode changing.
The mode of this type operation keyboard is equivalent to the mode of the operation keyboard that
the key-switch is placed at OFF position.
